“Often enough, I dine-in and get the daily special. Food is always fresh and fantastic and while you are waiting, they will offer samples of soup or other culinary delights. This time we ordered catering for a retiree party. 2 full trays of beef, 1 full tray of meatballs, 1 full tray of smoked beans and 1 full tray of roasted veggies. It came with all the buns, mild and hot giardiniera and roasted peppers. Everything was delicious. All trays were empty in 30 minutes! Thanks guys!”
“I have been intending to shop here for some time. Today was the day. Angelo was pleasant and knowledgeable. Their products all looked great. I got some 1 1/2" .New York strips, some of their hot dogs, some of their breakfast sausages, a beef shank, and some of their sole filets stuffed with scallops and crabmeat. Also, a sample of their mild Italian sausage. Everything was high quality delivered with the best service. Highly recommend.”
“Has all the best ethnic(Middle eastern, Asian & South Asian) foods, products, and items. Also has the best quality zabiha halal meat selection in most of Chicago. Has anything you can need from snacks, foods, drinks, frozen goods, halal meat, soaps, cleaning products, etc…..?”

2575 American Ln, Elk Grove Village“Amazing factory store of Polish meats, deli, and sausage. Everything at discounted factory prices. Very very fresh. On the weekend you can also get things such as condiments, fresh bread, and sweets.”
“I ordered a whole white fish for stuffing and asked that the guys remove the bones. And this was done to perfection - nary a bone in the finished baked fish that was just so fresh and delicious. While in to pick up the pre-ordered fish, I spied crab cakes in the display. I rather offended the guys by asking if they were good. My company are a fussy lot but everthing I've had from Carnivore has been super, so I took three 1/4 pound cakes. And they were literally AMAZING. Scant filler, all crab, subtley seasoned. With just a little browning in olive oil and warming through at 350F for 15 minutes, served on mixed greens, this was a perfect starter for the meal. Thank you, Carnivore, for delivering - again!”
“Cool place. They serve cold and hot food for lunch. Have a deli and cut meats. There is a frozen section also. The prices are kind of steep, but it is Hinsdale. Hopefully the stuff I got will be good. I'm sure I'd go back here again.”
“I moved to VP about 5 years ago from the northside, and I'm so happy we found this place....I'm proud to say its become our go-to. Not only does Mike's have amazing high quality meat, but they have a great deli too and the staff makes it even better. Since day 1, i'm always greeted in the kindest way - I even know some by first name basis which is always a small town dream, right?! I should've made a review a long time ago but I am now because on Saturday I bought a 5 1/2 lb corned beef brisket for St Patrick's day to make my husband, and I was really conflicted on the best method to make it since it was on the larger end (from my experience of cooking). I already procrastinated in the morning and probably should've started earlier but I decided to call up Mikes this morning for advice and wow - they really helped me. Google wasnt helping me, everyone has different methods, or recipes of which way is better and i wanted to get it just right especially since this was not a cheap cut of meat!Two gentlemen gave me advice on 2 methods, and they literally gave me all the tips and best ways to handle from their own experiences. Man, it really made me so happy to support a business like Mikes and we will always continue to do so. They really care, and always take the time to help out their customers in store and over the phone. Thank you Mikes meat market! You guys are truly a gem in VP.”
“This is the best full service butcher in the area. For Christmas Eve we got a 10lb 4 bone-in standing rib roast. The meat was beautiful. The preparation was incredible. Perfect trimming of the fat. The bones were cut away from the meat and tied back together. It was incredible!!! For Christmas we got a 7lb beef tenderloin. Incredible. It was prepared with a thin layer of fat around the meat. Covered in foil. And properly tied up. It was incredible as well. Reagan's also has THE BEST skirt steaks. As well as great hamburgers. And Tri-Tip!!!! I love this place! Thank you!!!”
“Great meat, lovely service! Can think of nothing bad. In addition to fresh meat and sausages, they offer a wide variety of frozen items including fish, meat stock, chicken items.”

435 N Harlem Ave, Oak Park“I adore this store for its flash frozen, portioned meets and seafood. The staff is helpful and attentive and the store offers quite a staggering selection of ordinart and unusual meats, fish, deserts, seafood, appetizers, etc. Very good prices for the quality, and they alsi deliver!”
“High quality meat, awesome individual running the place and awesome prices. You do have to purchase in bulk but if you have a family then trust me you will never shop anywhere else. I've been coming here for a very long time(close to 2 decades, yeah I'm that old!). Ali and his team have been running this place forever and its been family owned for God knows how long. I'm unsure if you need a tax i.d. to shop here but I've been coming by well before that requirement. Huge selection of high quality halal meats, but you have to order it so don't just show up. Call first! I'll be back over and over again. This Yelp page hasn't been updated in forever it seems but this place is still open, right off of cortland and route 53.”
“This place is amazing! It's mainly Mexican style food. They have a hot food bar. They put it out "Fresh Everyday". If they fill up the food bar at 10am- by 1:30pm. Its only scrapes left because the food on is OMG, good food, very fair portions, and the price is right! Looking forward to returning for a few items.”
“Just wanted to drop you a line that my wife and I used your delicious pepperoni on our homemade skillet pizza on Saturday - the best tasting one we ever made!Your pepperoni is the only pepperoni we want to use.Keep up the good work!!!”
“Love this location took me one hour to get here on bus from Skokie but was completely worth it. Only went for the food court on the second floor! I orders myself spicy pork, that was delicious got it with great side of fish cakes and kimchi. I did not know what the third side was but it was ok. The place is big and the staff was great! Also will not hurt your wallet like some Chicago location that charger like 20 dollars plus for spicy pork.”

4410 N Harlem Ave, Norridge“Easter March 31, 2024 EASTER!! I had the most wonderful experience and it is because of your staff. First of all, I should have gone to Caputo's first for my Easter dinner. Mariano's was sold out and everywhere else was too expensive.I ran into an employee named Chef Joey. Chef Joey was outstanding in every way. Joey listened to what I wanted to buy and spend, he offered suggestions and came through for me and my family.The ham, beans and different potatoes were a huge hit. All the food was packaged hot and fresh. My only mistake was that I did not come to Caputo's in Norridge first.Chef Joey is one of your finest stars at Caputo's. Please recognize this fine gentleman.Thank You Caputo's!Mark O'Brien”
“Great prime meats...awesome service... everyone is very knowledgeable and customer oriented . .they been supplying us at the grill on the alley for a couple of years...”
“My wife decided that we would use the Kababs that her dad would get for special occasions during a family meal. We drove out to prospect heights from Antioch and got 4 each of the beef and chicken kababs. They were VERY pleasant and helpful. Lovely folks. The kababs were the BOMB! I grilled them per the instructions given by the people at ascot and they were tender and delicious. Definitely will visit again. Highly recommended.”
“This place is the best! I needed 18 chickens (yes 18!) of similar weight and size for a rotisserie bbq event. I requested and happily received exactly what I needed. The quality of the chickens was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and the store has a wonderful vibe. These folks are serious about great food. Cannot wait until I get try some other dishes, quite especially their greek marinaded lamp chops! No disappointments here!”
“Love this local gem for all my middle eastern recipe needs. I ordered a fully cooked lamb, bought pita bread, pomegranate molasses, and some seasonal fruit like dates etc...”
“Drivers coming here to unload, best way I’ve found is to turn north on Nórdica Ave. That would be left if you are coming from Harlem Ave and then back to the side of the building. This way you have easy access to get back on to Harlem. Also they are open at 4am, but won’t unload you until the forklift drivers come. Unloading will be off the street. I hope this helps.”
“The new owners did a great job reorganizing the store and getting it cleaned up. The meat and groceries are very competitively priced. Sometimes, it can be hard to get a hold of someone on the phone. They also got rid of a lot of the processed meat selection that used to be available.Note: their Sunday hours are now 10 am to 5 pm.”
“I have ordered several times online to family in other states. My last order, there was a problem with the delivery company. No fault of Omaha. The customer service rep (Jordan) made me so happy. He reshipped the order to my parents with no hassle. I will continue to order from them again and again. With older family out of state, it is nice to know that I can send them quality meat with ease. Thank you, Omaha Steaks! You kept your promise with 100% customer satisfaction. You have a customer for life!”
“Give Kyle a raise! Within two sentences he both read my mind and guided me to the cuts in my price range and flavor profile. His service somehow exceeds the quality of the steaks. I will be back because of his service, no doubt!”
“Local bodega. Fresh produce, good butcher shop, you can do money orders or cash your check here. They sell hot food, good tacos, tortas and burritos. All made in house.”
“Well done! Lots of improvements...and I didn't see any expired items...but I didn't look everywhere either. I came for Ashura...but it wasn't there. I got boza and jars of canned vegetables. Honey is $17 a jar. It's good that I bought it for 5 dollars from the company store of North Star.”
“Bought this Romanian dry sausage from Max’s deli in Sterling Heights Michigan the best sausage ever loaded up for Christmas today had to double for the family everyone loved it Thank you for great product”

2400 N Harlem Ave, Elmwood Park“Love this grocery store! Go there with enough time to explore every aisle because you will find all sorts of interesting, diverse, and exotic foods from all over the world. (The carry my favorite Thai curry paste!) Prices are competitive and selection vast. The store is much larger than it appears!I love the fresh Italian bakery and varieties of bread. The selection of wines is not vast, but there is a nice range. (For example, we didn't see any imported Porta.)”

1401 Waukegan Rd, Glenview“I used to get steaks from Costco, but with a few trips to wildfire, it becomes my only place to get steak and lamb.At first, I was a little worried because everything is frozen, but man, it it fresh after thaw. Plus, the meat has been trimmed well and clean up. Either the steak or chicken, it’s always nicely presented. Very satisfied with the meat quality.”
10:30AM - 8:30PM
8401 W Golf Rd, Niles“My friend asked me to bring some fresh meat from chicago so I googled a bit and stopped by this place. It is preety decent, they had good fresh meat chicken. Cashier helped in finding goat keema, kidney, liver and goat legs for paya and also regular goat meat for curry. The service was good and ambience was great and tidy. I was don’t that smell in meat shop but here there is no meat smell. Good maintenance and also cashier was also explaining me how fresh was their meat. He was saying they get the delivery right from poultry every evening. It is good if they maintain the quality.”
“Place is OK. 2 slot inside dock can get even tighter if the first guy goes in a little cockeyed. Works more along the lines of first come first served. Don't get there too early because they will still be loading their own trucks and you'll just be wasting your time. Guys there are easy enough to work with. If it wasn't for the tight inside dock they would get 5 stars.”
